Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s Unrelenting Nemesis: Wolfgang Smith and His Trenchant Critique of Teilhard’s “Scientific Theology”
This critical review focuses on Smith’s recent revision of his 1988 book, Teilhard and the New Religion: A Thorough Analysis of the Teachings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Curiously, both the revised and original works have been largely ignored. Unfortunately, sometimes the best way to silence critics is to ignore them. This work will look into some of the primary concepts of Teilhard’s “scientific theology” and assess Smith’s evaluation, including evolution, the law of complexity and consciousness, the Creative Union, and the Omega Point.
